In the event you were a bit discouraged and wondering whether anything positive occurs during this time – I have some great news! Here are some amazingly good things that could happen to you during Mercury retrograde.

The planetary cosmos has an evil plot to make your life go crazy from October 21 to November 10, 2013.

It’s called Mercury Retrograde.

For the uninitiated or the skeptical, just pay attention to your life experiences over the next three weeks. You may find yourself joining the millions of believers who plan their year by calling up their local astrologer to find out the dates when Mercury goes retrograde.

The words you won’t say on your deathbed are, “If only I had spent more time at the office.” Most people are too busy living their life to stop and imagine the regrets they might have when they are about to die. An old uncle once gave me the following advice. He said, “It is a wise man who can learn from his own mistakes. But it’s a far wiser man who can learn from the mistakes of others.

So, let me share with you what many dying people, upon reflection, most regret when they look back on their life. Then, let me tell you what you can do to never have those same regrets.

The following is an excerpt from “What the Hell Is Going On in My Life?” – Using Your Birthdate to Find Answers About Relationships, Career, Money, Sex & Health. The author, Larry Schwimmer, is an experienced businessman as well as an astrologer, and he has also written three books of practical career advice. In his astrology writing, including his regular column at Huffington Post, he excels at conveying astrological information in simple, accessible language. One great technique he uses throughout the book is showing the reader how to create what he calls an “astro action plan.”

Everyone seems to have some sort of obsession in life, from a need for dark chocolate, to a need for something much darker.

When Pluto transits your 8th or 12th House, your unconscious motivations rise to the surface to help you understand the ways they empower you, as well as how they sabotage you. You’re compelled to come to grips with an obsession, compulsion, or even an addiction – and confront it. Pluto’s influence may force you to overcome it.

Ironically, you find that your conscious attempts to change, are undermined byunconsciously motivated actions that end up subverting you. You become frustrated because, despite your sincere efforts – you aren’t able to control certain behaviors, as you notice things not working out the way you intended. That’s when you finally admit to yourself, “I can’t seem to control my temper,” or “I know I should stop eating so much,” or “I’m addicted to pornography, but I can’t stop.” As a result, you feel powerless to change a part of your personality that is unhealthy or unproductive.
